Description

Thalys is the high-speed red train which travels from Paris to Brussels in 1 hour 22 minutes, to Cologne in 3 hours 14 minutes and Amsterdam in only 3 hours and 16 minutes. Since April 2014, Thalys has also provided a link between Amsterdam and Lille in a time of 2 hours and 40 minutes

Founded in 1996, Thalys is the only truly multicultural rail service to have achieved a high-speed international link between four countries. It is a commercial success (with more than 100 million passengers) as well as a technical one (since 2008, Thalys implemented on board WiFi, and in 2009, started using a new train management system, known as ERTMS). Against this backdrop, on 31 March 2015, Thalys became a fully-fledged railway company, with a goal of increasing efficiency and fluidity, and further improving the service and customer satisfaction
